'Krypton' Super Bowl spot features Superman...'s cape
Watch Next

This spring, Syfy is diving into Superman's home planet ... years before he was even a twinkle in Lara's eye.

Krypton centers on Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe), who will go on one day to become Kal-El's grandfather. Right now, though, he's just a young man trying to decide what to do about the future of Krypton.

Although Superman himself isn't in the series, his influence can be felt, even in the past – as in this Super Bowl spot above, which shows Seg-El considering the famous red cape that his grandson will go on to wear.

Sure, we probably already know where this is headed, with the planet destructing and Kal-El being sent to Earth.

But if you've ever wondered what, exactly, led the Kryptonians to that point – or what might've changed if a few things had played out differently – you can find out when Krypton premieres March 21 on Syfy.
